Phew!
As well as cherry-picking some of the best bands from around the world, the people behind Ritual Union also aim to promote the best of Oxford’s local talent, hence the appearance of experimental indie foursome Low Island, folk duo The August List and electronic outfit Candy Says on the bill.
Heavily involved in the area's already thriving music scene, the festival is, according to the organisers, “…a celebration of young rock bands, all held in the city famous for producing such legendary talent as Radiohead, Swervedriver and Ride.”
Sounds pretty good to us.
Tickets for the event are priced at a very reasonable £27.50 and are available to buy here.
